I needed a new calendar for work. The store had calendars with pictures of seascapes and mountain ranges, Elvis and Marilyn, doggies and dragons, airplanes and starships. Isn’t there anything for software engineers?
Every year, I make a calendar with pictures of my daughter (sometimes including family and friends). I use a program I wrote several years ago to help me assemble it quickly, then I print out copies for interested family members (which, oddly, does not include my daughter; narcissism is not one of her flaws, I guess).
I keep one for myself, but I actually want two calendars: one for home and one for my cubicle at work. None of the calendars at the store interested me, so I decided to make one from pictures of classic computers. I chose machines that were historically significant, either to the world or to me personally.
It’s now hanging up at work, contributing to my geek cred. You can see the pictures I chose below.
